SEPANG, Kuala Lumpur, 7 August 2024: AirAsia X (AAX) will resume flights between the Malaysian capital and Chongqing, China, this October, following an extended pause on the route since 2015.

All Malaysians are eligible for visa-free entry for tourism purposes to China for up to 15 days until the end of 2025. Chinese citizens can enjoy visa-free travel to Malaysia for 30 days until 31 December 2026.
Chongqing is touted to be the largest municipality in the world, with a population of nearly 32 million. Known as the “Mountain City,” Chongqing is built in a mountainous area and is also known as “The City of Fog” as it is often covered by a thin layer of mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Travellers who love breathtaking scenery and mouthwatering local delights will want to visit to enjoy the stunning views along the Yangtze River and Jialing River, experience the unique Liziba House-Crossing Metro, where a train runs through a modern flat building at Liziba Metro Station, and indulge in the intensely spiced Chongqing Hot Pot.
